Roise
Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Roise: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2025.
A name of Gaelic origin, Roise is the Scottish Gaelic form of Rose, ultimately derived from the Latin *rosa*, the fragrant flower. While less common than its English counterpart, it carries the same timeless associations with beauty and love. Among its notable bearers is Roise Nic a' Phiocair, a celebrated Scottish Gaelic singer known for her work with the band Dàimh, who has helped popularise traditional music. The name also shares its root with the county of Ross, in the Scottish Highlands, though there is no direct place connection via a famous Roise. A particularly charming variant is Ròs, while the English form Rose has remained perennially popular in Scotland, with Roise offering a distinctively Gaelic twist.
